Hi! I adopted my first guinea pig, Ginger, when I was 9 years old. I was told she was 2 years old when I adopted her (although I'm starting to think she was younger since I got her from petsmart) and I had her for 6 years before she passed away 2 years ago. I miss her so much everyday :sad:
I've recently decided to adopt another guinea pig. I found her through an ad on craigslist. She is a 1.5 month old teddy guinea pig and her mom was a rescue. I have a 3x2 cage I'm currently setting up for her. She's still a little spooked to be in a new place, but after all this is her first day in her new home. She doesn't seem to like getting picked up, but she does seems to love being held. She's most comfortable when I'm holding her.
I'm also still not 100% sure what to name her. I'm deciding between Coco and Lychee or maybe M&M or Hershey. If anyone has other suggestions I would be glad to hear them
I'm not new to keeping guinea pigs, but I would also love to hear any tips anyone might have
